Advanced oxidation treatment technologies have shown significant effectiveness in treating organic wastewater. The hydroxyl radicals (•OH) produced in this process have strong oxidative power, capable of degrading most large organic compounds that are difficult to remove by conventional methods.

Multiple sets of anodes and cathodes can greatly increase the production of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby improving the removal rate of macromolecular organic compounds in organic wastewater.

The two technologies work together to achieve better results. The ultraviolet light in the photo-Fenton can react with Fe 2+ It can synergistically promote the decomposition of H2O2, more efficiently generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and promote the removal of macromolecular organic compounds in organic wastewater. At the same time, ultraviolet light can promote the removal of Fe 3+ Fe 2+ Transformation to achieve continuous system response. Summary of the Invention

The ultraviolet lamp is fixed to the upper end of the photoelectric Fenton tank by a retractable bracket and extends into the reactor through the retractable bracket when in use.

[0021] The iron anode 4 is made of iron and has a plurality of through-holes on its surface; the stainless steel cathode 5 is made of stainless steel coated with carbon nanomaterials and has a mesh structure on its surface. This embodiment uses two sets of staggered iron anodes 4 and stainless steel cathodes 5; the electrode device includes a DC power supply 31, a cathode control switch 32, and an anode control switch 33. The negative pole of the DC power supply 31 is connected in parallel to the stainless steel cathode 5 via the cathode control switch 32, and the positive pole of the DC power supply 31 is connected in parallel to the iron anode 4 via the anode control switch 33.

[0022] In order to improve the reflective effect, the entire wall panel of the volume cavity 2 is made of acrylic, and its bottom surface is set to reflective material.

[0023] The circulating water device includes an inlet pipe 12, an outlet pipe 13, and a regulating tank 11. The water inlet of the regulating tank 11 is connected to a water pump 14 via a first valve 15. The outlet of the regulating tank 11 is connected to the volume chamber 2 via the inlet pipe 12. The outlet pipe 13 is connected to the flange columns 1 at the top and several in the middle. The outlet pipe 13 is then combined and divided into two branch pipes. One branch pipe is connected to the outside through a third valve 16, and the other branch pipe is connected to the water inlet of the regulating tank 11 through a fourth valve 17.

[0024] The working process of the photoelectric Fenton treatment device of the present application is as follows: the wastewater flows through the regulating tank 11, which is conducive to the subsequent photoelectric Fenton reaction.

If the wastewater treated by the photoelectric Fenton treatment device meets the discharge standard, the third valve 16 is opened, the fourth valve 17 is closed, and the wastewater is discharged through the outlet pipe 13. If the wastewater does not meet the discharge standard, the third valve 16 is closed, the fourth valve 17 is opened, and the wastewater enters the regulating tank 11 through the inlet pipe 12 for the next cycle. After the reaction is complete, the drain valve 18 is opened to discharge the remaining wastewater in the photoelectric Fenton cell.
